    Am I alone in thinking that Comply tips are a super case study where the branding has won out over the actual product? I never had any luck with them... and then tended to fall apart. To be fair though, I never found anything that would stay in my ears - I don't know if thats because of the shape of my ears or not... but it was that that send me on my merry way down the customs route. Spintfits were my favourite - but again, silicone - so if silicone not anybody's bag, probably a bit of a non starter. Anyway, as you were.

    Nah, he doesn’t have PR. I just sent him a message about it. Said he CBA to reply and doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage anyway. 😜

    These folk do not owe you anything - and you shouldn't assume what pulls they may have on their time or reasoning for responding to, or not responding to your message. I think if I was a celeb, I would be very wary of responding to anything. You never know who people really are... or what associations may be presumed from such interactions.

    Nup. Had to come back. With an EQ like that, I immediately thought we were being trolled by Fieldy. Anyway... Whilst we are at it, let's talk about "quality" drivers. There's only real two main players in the manufacturing of balanced armatures, Knowles and Sonion. Given that the vast majority of the leading brands of IEMs make use of Knowles and Sonion, it would also be worth pointing out that the drivers that are found in many Chinese IEMs are Knowles - and you may be interested to learn that the exact Knowles drivers found in KZ IEMs are commonly found in their more expensive custom counterparts too. Anyway, I'm just off to look at my mixer and try and understand what "20" is.

    JTUK, is that you? In the interests of a balanced considered response, EQ by numbers mean nothing. You need to EQ with your ears, not by numbers. The last paragraph is quite something. Do you just want to slam it out on the desk and get a ruler out too?
  6. EBS_freak
    Jeez. This escalated somewhat.
  7. EBS_freak
    Glad you got a result
  8. EBS_freak
    May be worth a go.

    @stevie nice work!

    Enjoy Dave!

    Depends upon the desk, but typically you can confiigure pre/post fader as well as pre/post DSP. Whatever DSP you apply to FoH will apply to your aux (unless you bypass the DSP). You can do a digital split if you have enough channels to apply different DSPs and effectively have a FoH channel and a monitor channel for each instrument (assuming you have enough channels on your mixer - or you could use two mixers - one for foh, one for monitors)

    You've unearthed one of the problems of digital desks. More virtual knobs to turn. Just because it's there to use, doesn't mean you should, especially if you don't know how to use it effectively. Compression is the number one culprit. People have survived for years without going into compressors on analogue desks... yet, give somebody a compressor, with no idea what they are doing - and without using their ears, will slam compressors all over the place... because.... compression. And compression is good, right? There's compromise, and compromise. Compromise due to stinky poo setting on a desk is not one that should be taken. Tech rehearsal time... before you all fall out.

    Sounds like you haven't got a sound engineer that knows their onions! And IEM should sound clearer than a cab as you are effectively taking a DI without any of the ambient fluff (assuming you aren't micing a cab) - I could understand if you were using some rubbish IEMs, but the KZ10s have bags of bass response and headroom (so there shouldn't be any distortion or farty bottom end) Got knows what they are doing to cripple your sound that much. Early compression is a bad idea on IEMs, as it impacts the way that people play and sing - singers especially as any make up gain really screws dynamics and singers tend to back off the mic.

    I used to hate this song. Boring. Pants guitar. Yawn. etc... Thing is, now I've got older and listen to it from a different pov, I've come to realise that it is in fact beautiful. It cropped up on my youtube feed again... I remember watching this for the first time on headphones (suggest you do to) and was blown away by not only the performance but the mastery in the engineering. This, and the Hell Freezes Over of Hotel California... just take me to my happy place. So, any other songs that you hated but come to love?

    Here you go -

    You know some geezer, (forget username) is 3d printing small enclosures for the future impact? Pretty much halves the size?

    I think BRX is trying to get the OP on a standardised MIDI controller. I'm not a big fan of USB and MIDI, cos the tiny USB cables that manufacturers choose to use aren't really gig friendly. (I get it, they take up much less room... but more prone to cable failure)
  18. EBS_freak
    Very much possible. You'll need the neuro hub to control the C4. Midi controller > Plethora (Midi In) > Plethora (Midi Thru) > Neuro Hub connected to C4. Make sure that both devices are on different channels. Done.

    And now I’ve got to Phil’s comment!
  20. EBS_freak
    Just reading back - the comment about auxes, remember one of the mega pluses of the XR18 is it’s ultranet functionality! Check out the P16M.

    Dave also plays bass guitar.

    5Ghz, using like for like power, has a reduced range and not as good as passing through masses, such as buildings... and bodies of people.

    I take it you guys haven't ventured into the IEM thread where I delve into the joys of latency of wireless... and cumulative latency (when you start introducing digital pedals/models/mixing desks etc). Comparing latency in IEM use and latency through distance from standing from a cab are different - the brain compensates in different ways
  24. EBS_freak
    And not one mention of latency yet! (Which should be another point of consideration!

    ULXD here. Not cheap... but it is a pro touring grade system. RF never means reliable, as I've always advocated, cable as a backup. Everything but a a co-ordinated radio setup, where every frequency is specifically calculated and allocated is a bit of a crap shoot. A lot of consumer devices won't give you the flexibility to do this!
